Thanks. Someone else on Reddit was actually having a similar problem, and he sent me over to the bitcointalk thread he created, and that's where they solved both of our problems. Turns out in his case it was Quark coin that was being reported as unconfirmed BTC. Apparently that's just what Bitcoin Core does when you open a wallet with altcoins in it.
Here is the thread if anyone is interested in the technical details...

Well a Bitcoin Talk developer solved the problem by having me actually run one of the transaction ids through one of the other altcoins I was mining at the time, and the explorer found it! Turns out this was actually my old RonPaulCoin wallet, not Bitcoin. Now if only I could find my old Bitcoin wallet...

BTW, I was able to unlock this wallet using an old password in an attempt to send coins, but it still reports the balance as zero. If this was an empty shell wallet that was never used I doubt I could get my password to work on it. There is a reason why the blockchain is reporting these transactions into my wallet.

Haven't really thought that far ahead yet. I have other cryptocurrencies. First I would just like to prove that I can get some of it out of my wallet. Then I'll figure out what to do from there. Whether that's dollar-cost-averaging, or liquidation, I don't know.

Awesome! I will check it out. Thank you!
EDIT: Actually I think I've looked into this before. I'm trying to avoid a subscription model property management software platform, but will eventually migrate to one of it's the right fit. For the moment, I just need to be able to consistently run like a combination credit/background check for between $10 to maybe $17 a search. I don't want to have to subscribe to a platform for a monthly fee and still have to pay $20 a pop.

Thanks for the response anyway. I had a subscription to a cheap one a while back, but it was a horrible service. It just seems like there's got to be a middle-of-the-road one out there where I don't have to pay a premium every single time.

"Enter the address containing the stuck payment into the first text field, then click Load. Even though your transaction is unconfirmed, Coinbin should display the value of the pending payment."
Coinbin doesn't display the value of the pending payment. Instead it's reporting zero outputs and inputs.

When I try to rebroadcast the raw transaction I get this...

Besides doing some hobbyist mining a few years ago, I'm pretty much a novice to intermediate when it comes to all things crypto. I'm assuming what someone said earlier is true regarding exposing your private key and that you have to deliberately expose it. Could someone confirm before I paste the raw transaction info that that is not going to reveal my private key to the world?

I don't see a period, but I do see a space where there shouldn't be one. I'm going to paste a different one in notepad first, and then paste here again...

Why would a wallet report bogus transactions?
No I did not mine it with a laptop. I was part of a mining pool I believe...don't really remember details. I was mining FTC and RPC at the time too, but BTC took so long to mine I never really paid much attention to it.
At first I thought maybe it's the wrong wallet, and my BTC wallet is in a different location, but then when I synced it to Bitcoin Core it showed up with the transactions in the ledger, so I figured it must be the right one. How is it possible that the blockchain would report unconfirmed bogus transactions to me? I did sync the wallet in 2013 and 2014, but I'm not even sure Bitcoin Core existed then. I think it was Bitcoin-Qt or something.

Bitcoin Core has been finished syncing for a couple of days now, and when I go to blockchain.info it also says my balance is zero, but there is nothing in the ledger showing coins were ever sent. It only says received. See screenshot for details.

Years ago I mined a little bit of BTC, and forgot about it. With the prices going astronomical I wanted to open my old wallet up and sell some. I opened it in Bitcoin Core and I can see a bunch of transactions, but they're all unconfirmed and my balance is reporting zero. Anyone know how to fix this?
